[Q] CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1

Hey all,
couple of quick questions, would very much appreciate an answer.
I'm using MB525, green lens, CyanogenMod-7.1.0-jordan-Quarx, 2.6.32.9-gbc356f0 kernel and would very much like to update to 7.2.0, since it's almost been a year since I flashed the 7.1 and the defy is starting to lag a bit. The question is, do I just flash the zip from recovery and wipe it clean? I don't need to keep anything, except my contacts and I'm planning to use Titanium Backup for that (right?). Will I be able to roll back to the stock ROM? Because I've still got 1 year of warranty left on the device. Other than that, did any of you experience any serious failings of the 7.2.0? Thanks a million.

Install the froyo kernel builds for green lens. cm72 is very fast and stable, no major issues at all.
Download the zip and install through cwm, before that do full wipe. factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. For Contracts why don't you sync them with Google account and is pretty easy, otherwise you can just use export function to sdcard from settings of contacts application, and later you can import back.
Titanium backup is for application backup, not for contacts.
You can always come back to stick froyo for warranty purposes by fishing full sbf of your region. Never ever flash full sbf of higher revisions,2.3+ versions, so you keep downgradability.
Enjoy fishing!

Awesome, thanks! I figured I'll go with euroskanks ROM, "update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-jordan-KANG-signed.03222012-0221.zip", since it might have several fixes that the original RC does not (amirite?). Gonna head out for couple of hours and then go on with the whole ordeal, and report back in case any other noobs come wandering in. Thanks again.

woah, what a help you are! rrrrrrrr

HOLY **** it's flying. Didn't even have a chance to overclock it yet (1Gz as before), still at 800hz, however, it's so so snappy I could not be happier. I am not a very reliable source, though, since I only kept my contacts from the previous install, but that is just because I like it fresh, meaning, I didn't have a heart to uninstall the application I haven't been using for a while and now they're gone. Aaaaand got drunk in the meantime, which is how it's supposed to go down, I think! thanks all y'all, hugs n kisses

toasted s3i9300gt

Hi everyone , im sorry to tell but from begining i had problems with my s3 , i had a error and the battery was consumed very fast on standby then i rooted , installed other kernels roms etc , for nothing , i had an onscreen time of maximum 2.5 hours with everything shutted down gps sync geo localization setting all ...
Now i had installed original jelly bean flashed with odin and syah kernel the latest version from 1 month ago dont know exactly if something new came up.
My problem is that somehow when the phone was charging i was sending some emails and i felt a burned smell , i checked and the place in wich comes the plug into the phone was like toasted, from then i couldnt charge the phone no more and i cant put back the jelly bean using odin no more ...
The question is how do i put the original rom from tmobile germany back into my phone without odin , just with recovery mod ?
i coulndt find nothing on internet regarding this , just using odin , because when i try to start the phone i just pop the image with syah kernel and the guys from waranty will see this and my phone will be sended back as defect as i send it .
please help

Use triangle away first. And then flash stock rom. Stock rom flash will install stock recovery automatically

It's right there in the Development section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133698
Defy sometimes has these weird problems that can't be explained. Your best bet would be to flash an SBF and wipe everything using stock recovery after flashing (which you might have to do anyways to get out of a common bootloop). Then you can just do the same old 2nd init and flash a new ROM.

Language resetting to EN??

Hi guys, from yesterday every time I reboot my S4, I get language reset from Italian to English.. After a very deep analysis :silly: I figured out that every time I open multi tasking and I click on the "close all" button on bottom right, in the file containing language settings /data/property/persist.sys.language magically "it" becomes "en"... The incredible thing is that I tried both factory reset and re-flash my ROM (WanamLite 1.4).. AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE!
What could be the cause???

First thing would be to try another rom to check is that no bug in you current ROM

Mmh I'm using this ROM for more than 4 months and I never had a similar problem bifore yesterday..

I have the same problem with omega v12.

Aww since when?? And have you got maybe an idea of which could be the cause?
UPDATE: that file returns to "en" not only when I close all the apps with the button, but is enough to remove the file manager I use to write "it" (I tried with both Solid Explorer and ES File Manager) from the multi tasking..

well i had this glitch after updating wanam xposed and i think the google play service or another google service updated itself , so after a reboot my language had been reset . but it seems okay now i rebooted the system twice and the language setting is unaffected.

Hi, I've same problem with Samsung S3 I9300.
Since I tried the 4.3 Samsung ROM (with Wanan xposed) and reverted to 4.1.2 I've this problem.
How can we fix it?
Cheers.

EDIT: Yeah, the update is out!! Bug fixed!

MIUI for Note 3 - Talk & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed the official MIUI 4.7.4 build on my Note 3 N9005, all I get is a black screen after a reboot. I can get to Downloadmode and CWM recovery, so I got that going at least ^^
Things I have done:
- Flash via CWM
- I did the regular wipes and clearups
- I waited about an hour for the first boot, but nothing
- 2 restarts with 30 minutes waiting time for boot each, but nothing
- Installed it again after wiping a second time
The version is for N9005 (which I have), so this couldn't be the problem either. The downloaded file is also complete and not corrupted or anything. What did go wrong?
Edit: Solved. Philz Recovery was required for install.

Yeah, I read that too somewhere. I will report later if it worked with Philz Recovery
Edit: Awesome, it worked!
To anyone encountering the same issue: Replace your CWM recovery with Philz Recovery, and install MIUI with Philz Recovery...then it should work!
You will be stuck in the bootanimation after the MIUI install, wait 10-15 minutes first, if nothing happens, just press and hold the Power-off button until the phone shuts down and restarts again. Then MIUI shouldn't be stuck anymore.
First impressions: Bloody brilliant! Everyone loving a beautiful lightweight Android should get MIUI!
Everything seems to work fine. Make sure you install Google Apps alongside MIUI.
Samsung features: S Pen works perfectly, you just won't see the floating pointer indicating where you are. As it is the first version, it will be only a matter of time seeing MIUI builds with that kind of adjustments for the Note 3 So exited!

to have S pen and all it´s glory we need a ported version of MIUI in a TW base.. ( PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD DO THIS)
this one for sure is CM base...
btw tried it very good rom

Battery impression

@btimeh
The battery life is amazing in MIUI - it was one of the things I was watching first.
I seem to get about 1 to 2 hours more of battery life compared to any of my previous TouchWiz ROMs like X-Note or Omega...well it is obvious because MIUI is very lightweight and isn't filled with junk or features noone uses. MIUI is also faster than anything you have seen.
I am using the stock Kernel and get these good results. And that with the first MIUI version ever, who knows how even better it can get in the future.
Yes, there are some bugs for now, but these things will be fixed soon. For being the first version, it amazes me how good everything is already

Great,will test asap.

I tested the rom and put back my backup. This is close to daily use but for some reason I can't use whatsapp. It will fc and Google playstore does fc as well after you've installed it. Also I keep getting that my system storage is full (even though it's not) still as smooth as ever tho, just not rdy for daily use yet. We'll at least not for me

Yeah, WhatsApp isn't working. But they will fix it soon.
All Google Apps do work though, which version did you install? I installed the gapps-stock 4.4.2 (20140608), everything works fine.
Your system storage shows to be full? That is strange, I don't know what could have been the cause. I had something like that on some other ROM in the past, I wiped the internal SD card and formatted /system with CWM, then installed again (make sure keeping the .zip files on external SD ^^). It had worked for me.

I did wipe everything. I installed the rom 3 times just to try. I'll wait till whatsapp works in the following update and I'm ready to use this baby daily

Yeah, in this case it would be better to wait. They released an OTA update today (4.7.4 to 4.7.6), but it did not fix WhatsApp yet

I just installed another version from another maintainer and whatsapp works! Also the rest works now, no problems with anything anymore!
